This film sidewalls was quite interesting, showing the lives of two individuals before they meet each other. What I think I enjoyed most was the shots they displayed of the buildings in the city, and different views and angles you wouldn't normally see, or consider. I liked how they showed their two paths crossing throughout the movie before they actually met, like when they were both standing at the crosswalk and their hoods formed a heart, that was cool. It was interesting watching a film in a different language, because it's not normally something I would do, and without subtitles I would have absolutely no idea what was really going on, which is the interesting thing about language, because to one group it really means something and you can communicate with it, but if you don't know it, its just different sounds. Though I found some of the scenes to be somewhat random, and not really contributing to the story at all, which is fine, but also a little confusing. The film itself was also quite saddening honestly, which I think was the point in a way. Showing the modern day sadness and isolation of the internet, "connecting" with others but not really connecting, and just feeling alone and depressed. It's definitely not something I would watch again, but I'm glad I saw it.
